Do you have the strength to force me to join the Liangshan bandits?

Chapter 269 Song Jiang: Please, have some decency! [4 Updates, Please Subscribe]

"Hey?"

Cai Fu spotted Song Jiang's stretcher at a glance:

"Brother Song Gongming, what brings you here?"

This is embarrassing...

Song Jiang lay on the stretcher, his dark face flushed red.

"Brother, I just heard you're back!"
"Brother, I've missed you so much!"
"I rushed over to see you as soon as I knew you were back!"

"How's it going? Everything's going smoothly?"

Cai Fu laughed heartily:

TOEFL, best of luck!
"Not only did my third brother take in a worthy apprentice, but I also took in three thousand surrendered soldiers!"
"Today, a grand banquet is being held at the Hall of Loyalty and Righteousness. I will have to trouble you with the arrangements, brother!"

Please be a human being!
Song Jiang was almost in tears:

I'm a wounded soldier lying on a stretcher, and you still expect me to organize a banquet...

I really want to poison the drink!
However, Song Jiang knew this was impossible, as Cai Fu had already assigned Yan Qing to the kitchen to oversee the meals.

With Yan Qing's quick wit, it would be impossible for Song Jiang's men to poison someone in the kitchen.

Song Jiang was carried away.

Although Song Jiang's back was not visible, even the figures carrying him, Kong Ming and Kong Liang, appeared desolate from behind...

……

Cai Fu returned home and slept soundly.

The long journey and the arduous travel were indeed tiring.

I slept until dusk, when I heard Hu Sanniang's voice outside the window:
"Master, it's time to get up!"

Cai Fu rubbed his eyes, pushed away Lu Zhishen's hairy legs, got up and responded, sitting to wake himself up.

Lu Zhishen was woken up by Cai Fu. He could fall asleep and wake up just as easily. Upon waking, he asked:

"Brother, shouldn't we go to the Hall of Loyalty and Righteousness for a drink?"

Cai Fu chuckled: "That's right."

Lu Zhishen jumped up in one go:
"elbow!"

Although it was already evening, Cai Fu still washed up, changed his clothes, and went out of the house.

Lu Zhishen followed Cai Fu out, the two brothers walking arm in arm, chatting and laughing, towards the Hall of Loyalty and Righteousness.

Hu Sanniang followed silently behind Cai Fu, like his shadow...

Cai Fu and his group were halfway there when they saw a figure with a pointed head moving up and down in front of them!

It looks like a big grasshopper!

Cai Fu was still a little sleepy and confused when the figure with the pointed head came toward him.

"Zhaizhu!"

The figure with the pointed head stopped in front of Cai Fu. Cai Fu looked closely and realized it was Wang Dingliu.

After Wang Dingliu became Shi Qian's apprentice, Cai Fu arranged for him to replace Zhang Qing as the manager of the Xishan Hotel.

Because Wang Dingliu was a generation younger than Cai Fu, he couldn't call him "brother," and calling him "uncle" wouldn't be considered a close enough relationship.

Therefore, Wang Dingliu called Cai Fu the chieftain:

"An old friend from Tokyo sent a letter to the chieftain!"

“I offered to pass it on to him, but he refused and insisted on handing it over to the chieftain in person!”

"That person is currently in the shady shop. Does the chieftain wish to go and check on him personally?"

An old friend from Tokyo?

Cai Fu's first thought was of a dark version of Lin Chi-ling, but that was obviously impossible; it could only be someone else...

So Cai Fu, along with Lu Zhishen and Hu Sanniang, followed Wang Dingliu to Yazui Beach to take a boat to Xishan Hotel.

Upon arriving at the Xishan Hotel, Cai Fu encountered a masked, robust man!

Wang Dingliu introduced the masked man to:
"This is Cai Daowang, the chieftain of Liangshan Marsh!"

Ok?
Cai Fu glanced at him and decisively decided to remind Shi Qian to give Wang Dingliu extra training at the banquet later.

As long as you can't practice to death, practice to death!
In fact, Cai Fu knew who had sent the masked man when he came to the Xishan Hotel.

As expected, the masked man cupped his hands in a respectful gesture to Cai Fu:

"Miss sent me to deliver a letter to King Cai Dao."

After saying this, the masked man took out a letter from his pocket, checked the sealing wax in front of him, and handed it to Wang Dingliu. Wang Dingliu checked the envelope; it was fine. He opened it and checked the letter; it was also fine.

Wang Dingliu then presented the letter to Cai Fu with both hands.

Cai Fu glanced at it and laughed, "Just as I thought."

He casually held the letter close to the candle flame, letting it be consumed by the flame and reduced to ashes.

"Thank you for your hard work, brother."

Cai Fu is now more curious about who the masked man really is:

"May I ask how you should address me, brother?"

"Don't dare take it!"

The masked man clasped his hands in a fist salute:

"I am merely a close confidant of Miss, an insignificant nobody!"

"May I ask if King Cai has given Miss a reply?"

Nobody?

Cai Fu gave the masked man a meaningful look.

It's not impossible, after all, which hero would be willing to be a dog for Cai Jing, the head of the four treacherous ministers?
After hesitating for two seconds, Cai Fu realized he had nothing to reply to Cai Ya, so he asked her:

"Does your young lady have a tattoo?"

The masked man was taken aback: "This humble one does not understand what King Cai Dao is talking about..."

"nothing."

Cai Fu told him, "Go back and tell your young lady to wait for me to come and check the tattoo."

Anger flashed in the masked man's eyes, because Cai Fu's words clearly showed disrespect for the young lady.

But remembering the young lady's instructions, the masked man could only suppress his anger and cup his hands in a respectful gesture to Cai Fu:

"Farewell!"

Yo ho?

Cai Fu glanced at the masked man, surprised that this guy actually respected Cai Ya's dog!
I wonder what the masked man's reaction would be to seeing Cai Ya groveling before him...

The masked man left, and Cai Fu didn't linger either. If he didn't go back soon, the banquet at Zhongyi Hall would be about to begin.

Back on the small boat at Duckbill Beach, Lu Zhishen asked Cai Fu:
"Brother, do you have any old friends in Tokyo?"

Cai Fu laughed: "He's not an old friend, just a spy I planted in Tokyo."

Lu Zhishen opened his eyes wide: "Could something have happened in Tokyo?"

"Do not."

Cai Fu nudged Lu Zhishen with his shoulder and raised an eyebrow:

"It's Liangshan Marsh, something's happened."

"This is a very important matter; we'll discuss it later."

Lu Zhishen understood immediately and didn't ask any further questions.

After all, besides Hu Sanniang, there were also boatmen and sailors on the small boat, so there were many people and a lot of gossip.

Upon arriving at Duckbill Beach, Cai Fu and his group disembarked and proceeded along the mountain path to Zhongyi Hall.

Although there were far fewer people in the Hall of Loyalty and Righteousness, and even Song Jiang and Wu Yong were not there, it was actually more lively!
Han Yiyun seemed out of place among them.

In fact, Han Yiyun attended several banquets after he went up the mountain, and he even became the focus of attention on the day he defeated Suo Chao!

Many heroes surrounded him, flattered him, and fawned over him...

But today, after being utterly defeated by Lu Junyi, no heroes are surrounding him, flattering him, or fawning over him anymore...

Han Yiyun originally didn't want to come, but Cai Fu invited him in person, so he couldn't refuse.

After arriving, he realized he couldn't go back. He had been too arrogant before, and his repeated victories had made him extremely conceited.

He wants to keep a low profile, but he can't bring himself to do it, so he sits in a corner and drinks alone in silence.

He originally planned to wait for Cai Fu to arrive, have a bowl of wine with Cai Fu, and then leave, but Cai Fu was late in coming.

Han Yiyun was drinking alone there, and before he knew it, he had eaten too much. Suddenly, the Hall of Loyalty and Righteousness was completely silent.

What the hell?

Han Yiyun looked around in bewilderment. Just a moment ago, it was bustling with activity, even more noisy than a vegetable market...
